"Wait and see," said Lancaster, as great captains do. And at that moment a first spot of rain fell. Honion looked up apprehensively at a clouding sky. "I thought so," said he; and the weighty words were passed from lip to lip. The multitude swelled as the Captain drew near the notice-boards. Rumour stalked abroad and loudly proclaimed that the lot had fallen upon Doe.
"Bless my umbrella, Tom. But I don't like the looks of the weather." "Why, what's it doing?" "It isn't doing anything, but it's clouding up and the barometer is going down." "I was afraid we were in for it," answered the young inventor. "Well, we'll have to take what comes."
He was tall and dark, with a boyish laugh that I loved, and a way of suddenly becoming very serious in the middle of his fun a sort of clouding over of his face as if the sun had gone under for a minute." She spoke haltingly, but Pearl knew what was in her heart, and her quick imagination painted in the details of each picture.
It is a clouding of the crystal a diversion of the reader's mind from the matter to the manner, from the author's subject to the author himself. No, I have not the Edinburgh edition.

Seguin made no reply; but I saw that the painful and anxious expression still remained clouding his features. My own heart was not without its heaviness. A dark foreboding began to creep into it from some undefined cause. Were his thoughts in communion with mine? "How long," I asked, "before we can reach your house on the Del Norte?" I scarce knew why I was prompted to put this question.
"You speak of an almost-forgotten dream," said Adrian, his countenance slightly clouding as he spoke; "the visions of my boyhood have long since faded in the light of reality; I know now that I am not a man fitted to govern nations; sufficient for me, if I keep in wholesome rule the little kingdom of my own mortality.
